Residents of Waco just finished a long night of severe thunderstorms that included, at least, one tornado warning from the national weather service. On Tuesday night, I was at work when the warning sirens began to go off around 8:30pm. Along with the few other folks I was working with, we went to a safe area and waited until the all clear was given over the radio. In western Waco, where I was located, the storm last night contained much more thunder and lightning then the rainfall we need so much.
We are officially in tornado season here in Central Texas, so anything is possible when it comes to the weather. The local Clear Channel radio stations did a great job in providing up to the minute information about the storms on Tuesday night. Where I work, we did not have a television set - so the radio and Internet were our only means of finding out what was happening as those severe storms made their way across the area. Within an hour of these storms causing so much concern, they were gone and business as usual returned. I hope that over the next few weeks a slow rain will visit Waco and help ease some of the drought conditions we find ourselves in right now.
